Finale

About This Movie

Finale captures an intimate slice of life surrounding the 1988 cup final between Brann and Rosenborg, pulling focus away from the game itself. The film immerses viewers in the lives and emotions of the fans, showcasing their hopes, dreams, and disappointments with a raw, almost documentary-style authenticity. It’s not just about the score; it's about the communal experience, the electricity of anticipation, and the heartbeats of those in the stands. The pacing feels genuine, ebbing and flowing with the crowd's energy, making you feel every cheer and sigh. It’s a distinctive take that sidesteps sports dramatization and instead opts for a more human, poignant exploration of fandom.

Finale is quite rare in the collector's market, with limited releases over the years, often surfacing only in obscure formats. The film has garnered a niche following, primarily among those interested in sports-related cinema that emphasizes character over competition. Its scarcity adds a layer of intrigue for collectors, especially those fascinated by the cultural aspects of football in Norway during that era.
